Where we at with adventure games?

[Raymond]

Finished Grim Fandango yesterday. Some of the puzzles annoyed me. They all make sense but some seem impossible to figure out. I solved them by accident. Overall it was a great game though. It's beautiful despite the dated graphics. And it's actually very funny, not in that annoying quirky video game way.
Thimbleweed Park is one of my favorite games in recent years. Loved the puzzles in Day of the Tentacle. Broken Sword 5 was kind of shitty. Also couldn't finish it because of a bug that kept the game crashing towards the end. More like Broken Game 5, knowwhatImean?

I bought Monkey Island 2, Myst and Paradigm. Will probably try Paradigm next.

What are some of them other adventure games we got? And does somebody have recommendations aside from the obvious LucasArts picks?

Riven is one of my all time favorite games. CHO ?!

 

[Uncle Floyd]

Grew up on the Sierra and LucasArts games so I'm a fan, but I haven't seen anything recently that caught my eye. If I had time I'd go back and play the Sam and Max games.

 

[JoshFromMichigan]

Some classics are Leisure Suit Larry, Kings Quest, Space Quest, Maniac Mansion, and Sam and Max. Darkside Detective is a newer one too.

 

[alkiefuck2]

my dad loves them, old sherlock titles plus a few you mentioned. i wish i could get into them but i hate those impossible puzzles were you're essentially forced to look up a walkthrough

Monkey Island 2 had an extremely bullshit puzzle solution but is a really great game. I'd say my favorites are The Dig, Sam & Max and Day of the Tentacle. Hell even the Indiana Jones ones were amazing. Other killer ones are I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, Beyond a Steel Sky and Loom.

Checkout Rusty Lake's adventure games for Android if you're looking for something newer. Not all time classics like the ones already mentioned (loved Space Quest) but they're good enough for me to check in on their website every ~6 months to see if they've come out with a new one.

Thats pretty cool. Thanks for the heads up. I am always amazed at the good deals that can be found on humblebundle. I would def get that if it wasn't for already owning them. Getting them DMR free might just be worth it tho.

I went deep with the myst series back in the day. Would play their mmo-styled game URU back when people used to always be on. I heard people got on for christmas but everytime I checked back in the cities were empty and my relto was back to default..

I loved them as a kid but I don't have the patience for them anymore. I hated the ones where the puzzles were random chance.

Simon The Sorcerer is a really good one that you probably haven't heard of. It's very close to Monkey Island but with british sarcastic humor. Some of the puzzles are hard, but all within the logic of the game. All of them were very satisfying. It's ScummVM compatible.

Oh yeah I forgot about that one. Discworld is another good british one (I think it's british). I was more interested in ones that didn't have fail states like Space Quest and Kings Quest did. Nothing sucked more on those than dying and forgetting what you did to get to that point again.

 

[LingerLonger]

The best aspect of the remastered puzzle games is that you can get infinite hints to basically guide you right to the solution. Some of the original Monkey Island puzzles were pathetic. And with the ancient graphics took forever.

 

[fenrir]

As games, most of them weren't that great, but if you wanted something with a story and an aesthetic beyond "pixel bullet go boom", they were pretty much your only option.

Having said that, the Gobliiins series was cool:

The puzzles were mostly trial and error, but the art looked good for the time.

 

[New Name]

I fuck with Ace Attorney and friends

 

[AntSucks]

Oh I forgot to mention Full Throttle. They don't make games like this anymore

 

[ShutYourCakeHorn]

I go deep with Putt-Putt and Freddi Fish.







These games were my childhood.

 

[Punished Dan Mullen]

Tumbleweed parks ending is pretty shitty tbchwy, the beginning of the game was great tho

I fuck with Ace Attorney and friends

I played all of them, even the new shitty one made by the creator called AI something
